Byron braces for splendid skies

But if you're prepared for torrential rain, sniffer dogs and you already have a ticket, Splendour in the Grass hits Byron Bay again this weekend.

Returned from exile in Queensland, the massive festival will sprawl across five stages, a Tent of Miracles, heaps of bars and dance-tents at Belongil Fields from this Friday, July 27 till Sunday, July 29.

The international superstars braving Byron include the reborn Smashing Pumpkins, Jack White and English heavyweights Bloc Party.
